Default Lug Bolts, Nuts, Screws... help needed

I don't know exactly what the screws for the wheels are called, but I do know there are 5 of them for each wheel... I recently purchased new wheels for the SRT-6...

Stock ///// New Rims

18 x 7.5///// 18 x 7.5
35mm //// 29mm Offset

19 x 9 //// 19 x 9
22mm //// 37mm Offset

From this information I have gathered that I would need 20mm spacer for the rear for the rims to be pushed out 5mm in the rear and the front will be pushed out 6mm without spacers.. so my question is it apears that I will also need new "screws" what size would I need and where can I purchase them? any suggestions?

What you are referring to are the wheel lugs, or studs.

I would seriously check with a local tire franchise.

They have the equipment supplies and experience to do the job correctly producing a safe result.

You will probably choose to get the tires balanced anyway, so while the wheels are off they can knock out the studs and replace them with the new.

Good luck

you think a local rim store would have it? I just don't like going to a store and not knowing exactly what I need, I always feel like people are out rip me off or sell me not exactly what I need.. is there anywhere I can look up a size through some kind of calculator or something?

and my second question if anyone knows will it rub if it is lowered by an eibach pro kit with the front wheels being 6mm out and the rear being 5mm out?

Sidez, there are a lot of factor's in aftermarket wheels. Some wheels require a ballseat type lug bolt, that is what the OEM wheels are. Some require a conical type lug bolt. The Stern wheels on my car are a 35mm offset and they require a conical lug bolt, the Voxx wheels I just bought for my DR's require a ballseat. My best advice for you is to fit the wheels as is on your car, decide if you want or need to run a spacer. Then take a measurement of how long of a lug bolt you will need. The OEM bolts screw in 16mm, you can go a little deeper in the front, but not the back. You can go as deep as 18mm in the rear till the bolts hit something inside. I'm running 10mm hubcentrical spacers in front & 20mm on the back with my Stern wheels, 19X9.5 wheel on back & 18X8.5 in front. This is where I've bought all my lug bolts & hubcentrical spacers, you'll be looking for 12X1.5 bolt's.

I had to trim out the inside of the front spacers a little to get them to fit over the front spindle housing.

And one other thing I forgot to mention is the center bore of the wheel OEM is 66.xx mm, most wheels in our bolt pattern are the 66.xx mm or 73.xx mm, if you have the 73's you'll need some hub centric rings too.

The place you are buying them from should be able to tell you what you will need for your new lug bolts.
